It is an old-established house with a good cook, and
excellent wines in its cellars. It is a restaurant that the French would
describe as _non chiffre_, for it does not mark the prices on its card
of the day, though they are not higher than at most of the other
restaurants of Barcelona. There are some very pleasant private rooms at
the restaurant, and a large room for banquets. The cuisine is almost
entirely French. You can get a very fair dinner, wine and all, at
Justin's for about 6s.; but if you are giving a dinner party, and are
prepared to pay 30 pesetas or 18s. a head, Justin's will give you such a
dinner as the menu I give below, wine and all:--
Huitres de Marennes.
Consomme Colbert.
Hors-d'oeuvre varies.
Loup. Sauce Hollandaise.
Cotelettes de Sanglier Venaison.
Salmis de Becasses.
Chapon Truffe.
Petits pois a la creme.
Glace Napolitaine.
Desserts assortis.
VINS.
Rioja blanco.
Vinicola.
Cliquot sec frappe.
The Rioja Blanco, Diamante, and Vinicola seem to be the wines most
generally drunk at Justin's. MM. Marius and Gerina are the present
proprietors.
In the central square, the Plaza Cataluna, is the new and gorgeous
Restaurant Colon, attached to the newly finished hotel of that name.
